This painting represents a woman wearing a pale teal robe laying on a bed reading a magazine. Her left hand rests on the magazine's pages, and her right hand is bent to support her head. Under her right arm is a pink blanket trimmed in satin, and the bed is topped with a bedspread that matches her robe. Behind the woman is a window trimmed in lace and floral curtains. Through the window buildings can be seen.
